Why was there no Metal Gear Rising 2?

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is a cancelled game that was intended to be the next console installment in the Metal Gear series following Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

The high heels make ninja run and climbing possible, and let him attach his swords to his feet. As for wigs, Raiden has naturally almost white and long hair. After the Patriots turned him into a cybork he lost his real hair and now wears a wig.
Why does Raiden bleed white?

After he was badly injured from battling Gekko and Vamp during the Guns of the Patriots Incident, he would have died had Naomi Hunter and Sunny been unable to find an infusion of white blood and begin dialysis in time.
Although not an eyepatch, Raiden utilized a cloth to cover his missing left eye, after a fight with Samuel Rodrigues resulted in his eye being injured and amputated, and because a cybernetic replacement eye wasn't fully created prior to his surgery, in 2018.

Why did Raiden not replace his eye?
They didn't have time to get a new eye, so that bandage acts as a camera. If you ever wonder something in Metal Gear games, the codec will answer it for you. If you played more than 5 minutes, you see he uses them for combat (holding his sword) because legs have more power than arms ever could have.

Sunny is the daughter of Olga Gurlukovich, who was kidnapped at birth by the Patriots.
